Set deep within Operation Patriots FOB's private 268-acre hunting preserve in Ridgeland, SC, the Grounds of Honor | Heroes Among Us Clay Shoot is one of the only opportunities each year for the public to experience what many consider one of the finest sporting clays courses in the Lowcountry. Normally reserved exclusively for the veterans and first responders we serve, this 15-station course winds through ancient oak corridors and natural terrain, delivering challenging and memorable shot presentations for experienced shooters while remaining enjoyable for all skill levels.

Held on the eve of our 5th Annual First Responders Appreciation Day, this year's event carries even greater significance as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. As we remember the heroes who answered the call during our nation's darkest day and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we also recognize the first responders who continue to serve our communities with the same courage, selflessness, and commitment every day.
